Race Imperial
Born In the Second Era

Cornexius Cossus was a member of House Cossus and the Mages Guild during the mid-Second Era. He joined a contingent of Mages Guild members who opened a branch of the Guild in Orsinium when King Kurog gro-Bagrakh initiated a rebuilding effort. Little is known about his life in the city, or if he eventually returned home.

Appearance and Character[]

Cornexius was an Imperial, and bore medium-length light brown hair often tied into a small ponytail at the back of his head. He also had dark brown eyes, and often let his beard grow to a stubble.

While he was a member of the Mages Guild, he almost always kept a sword at his side, suggesting he favoured martial skills and was possible even a spellsword.

History[]

Nothing for certain is known of Cornexius' past prior to serving the Mages Guild, other than the fact that he was born into House Cossus. Cornexius likely joined the Guild before Dowager Empress Clivia Tharn banned the Guild from the Empire of Cyrodiil and granted an imperial charter to the Worm Cult, making them the Empire's chief institution of magical learning.

In 2E 583, the self-proclaimed King Kurog gro-Bagrakh of Orsinium began reconstructing the old city, and invited merchants and travellers from across Tamriel to come and aid in making it a thriving settlement. At this time the Mages Guild sent a contingent of its members to set up a branch within the city, among them being Cornexius. Little else is known of Cornexius' life beyond this point.
